Guy Betsy, thanks for bringing this up again.

I owe it to this thread to say that I think I was naive or lulled (by Avis and Carlson, separately) in my last comment. This week, I received a big load of AAdvantage miles for Avis rentals stretching back to late July. Specifically, from late July and the beginning of August. However, when I was on the big Avis run, I also pointed a rental to this Carlson promo. Nothing has shown up in over eight weeks. Maybe it's good news that not even the normal token points have posted.

Hypothesis: That the same Avis office or computer was handling both partner promos at the same time, and got jammed. (And, outside the scope of this thread but perhaps putting further bind in the cheese, the other promo was very generous at 3,000 AA miles per day. Threads about it were full of reports of people doing one-day rentals.)
